Assistant Commissioner ATO Angela Allen explains that the tax office defines a small business as any entity with an 'aggregate turnover' of less than $10 million, a definition that applies across all Australian states.
She emphasizes that, in addition to filing taxes correctly, business owners are responsible for paying the mandatory superannuation contributions for their employees.
Furthermore, the Assistant Commissioner stated that the tax department is dedicated to supporting the growth of small businesses.
